LIFE
A. Kamakahelei means "the eye of a gem"
(Bingham, A Residence of Twenty-one Years in the Sandwich Islands, p xvi).
B. Ruler of Kauai when Captain Cook arrived (Fornander, An Account of the Polynesian Race, vol 2 p 297; Descendants of Prince Keeaumoku I, Hms G65, Chart 8-A-2). Queen of Kauai in 1799
(Bingham, A Residence of Twenty-one Years in the Sandwich Islands, p xvi).
C. When Captain Cook's ship anchored at Waimea in Jan 1778, a grand council was held at her and Kaeo's home (Fornander, An Account of the Polynesian Race, vol 2 p 162).
D. Order of mates (McKinzie, Hawaiian Genealogies, vol 1 p 16). Kaeo, "she had selected some years before while her first was living, as was then the custom ... she had two daughters with Kaneoneo, both of whom were of marriagable age when she became the wife of Kaeo" (Kalakaua, The Legends and Myths of Hawaii, p 401).
E. Fragment: She "had three children, two sons and one daughter, namely King Kaumualii, Ikekeleaiku (k) and Namakaokahai (w)" (McKinzie, Hawaiian Genealogies, vol 2 p 137).
F. Fragment: "in 1779 the boy chief Keawe was placed on the throne by his mother Kamakahelei and her newly acquired husband Kaeo. Shortly afterwards, probably in 1780, a son, Kaumualii, was born to Kaeo and Kamakahelei. Visitors to the islands from 1786 to 1791 speak of Kaeo as king of that island. Evidently he had displaced Keawe and was perhaps acting as regent for his son Kaumualii. About the beginning of 1791, Kaeo left Kauai to help his brother Kahekili ..... Kaeo was killed in the fighting on Oahu at the end of 1794... and Kaumualii thus became king. But in February 1796, Broughton and Bishop found a civil war in progress on Kauai, where Keawe was attempting to wrest the throne from Kaumualii. When Broughton returned in July 1796, Keawe was in full control and Kaumualii lived with him divested of all power. But within a year or two Keawe died and Kaumualii was thus restored to the throne" (Kuykendall, The Hawaiian Kingdom, vol 1 p 48).
G. Fornander, An Account of the Polynesian Race, vol 2 p 298 postulates that she died shortly after her mate Kaeo. But when was Kiha part of the family?
